If you for a second think that military (and civilian for that matter) simulators need super computers to run them, you are sorely mistaken.
While the PC with available software may not be up to scratch, the hardware is quite capable - many times over.
It is the SOFTWARE that wins the day - NOT the hardware.
The damn things cost millions because they have to recoupe the R&D (contractor winners charge the military what ever they can get away with - not market related fees ) - and don't go on to sel 1,000,000 copies on eBay..
